SEATTLE — A Fremont couple, fed up after not getting mail for days, picketed outside their local post office. That couple is just one of several people telling KIRO 7 they have not received regular mail delivery.We couldn’t get them to go on camera. But they recited the familiar issues, including understaffing.For nearly two weeks in December, resident Leo Griffin says mail trucks were a rare sight in his Fremont neighborhood after his USPS mail stopped arriving mid-month.And for 12 long days, he says, they got no mail at all, something that had never happened.
“They seem short-staffed because every once in a while, we’ll just have a day where there’s just no mail delivered that day, and it gets caught up the next day,” Griffin said. “But I’ve never had it for such a long time.”“And then it says they’re ‘using all available resources currently, including bringing in carriers from outside the area to move the mail and meet our delivery commitments,’” Griffin said, reading from the reply.
Griffin and his wife got so frustrated that they picketed outside their Wallingford post office last Friday.They are not alone.
